Both Flex-Mat 3 Modular’s 1- x 1-ft. and 1- x 2-ft. panels provide up to 50 percent more screen media open area than traditional rigid polyurethane and rubber panels. In addition, each new 1- x 2-ft. Flex-Mat 3 Modular panel increases total screen media open area by up to 55 percent when compared to using two traditional 1- x 1-ft. polyurethane or rubber panels to cover the same screen deck area. No screen box changes are necessary to switch to the larger panels.

One key to Flex-Mat 3’s success in both tensioned and modular screen media is its independently vibrating wire technology. It increases product throughput over traditional rigid polyurethane and rubber panels by creating more screening action and eliminating blinding, pegging and clogging.

Flex-Mat 3 Modular panels install easily using the same fastening systems as traditional polyurethane and rubber panels and are available in both stainless steel and Major Wire’s proprietary OptimumWire. Wire diameters range from 0.025 in. to 3/8 in. (0.6 mm to 9.5 mm). Snap- and step-types are available in 1- x 2-ft. sizes, while the pin- and grooved-types are available in both 1- x 1-ft. and 1- x 2-ft. sizes.
